We believe food is healthy (effective) or unhealthy (ineffective). On that note, food is NOT a moral issue. Being overweight, eating unhealthy, or even craving unhealthy food doesn’t make you a bad person… It makes you a HUMAN BEING! We don’t like the term, “Cheat Meals” because you are not cheating on yourself when you indulge in an effective meal. The problem is when you abuse food and it starts to abuse you. That is a slippery slope no wants, needs, or deserves to go down. Join us in this con...

Discipline is not motivation. Discipline is not willpower. Discipline is not about sacrifice or even punishment.
